    Visit the Vancouver Aquarium After Hours

    See a whole new world with your loved one. Explore the underwater galleries at the Vancouver Aquarium After Hours event with a drink in hand.

This popular event only takes place a couple of times a year and makes for a truly unforgettable date night.


     

    Enjoy Valentine’s Day Snowshoe Fondue


    For a memorable Valentine’s Day experience, head up to Mount Seymour for their annual Valentine’s Day Snowshoe Fondue.
